Chris… That is correct. We've decided to direct our efforts into supporting as many SCSI cards as possible for as many SCSI devices as possible. We feel that the ASPI interface put forth by Adaptec is a good, solid standard to go with, and therefore our aim is to provide drivers for any SCSI card that has an ASPI driver written for it. This will give users freedom like they've never had before; no more loading a mess of different drivers and cards to support their various SCSI devices. SCSI will finally be doing what it was meant to do in the first place; allow users to connect all of their SCSI devices through _one_ card (well, up to 7 devices per card, of course…). Naturally we are constantly adding new devices to our list; the MicroNet 44 Mb drive you mention is not supported by us as of yet, but I have passed along the suggestion to my engineers to see what they can do. The Nec 74 is fully certified by us, and I would suggest the use of one of Adaptec's 15xx line of SCSI cards, as their cards have completed certification. Let me know if there are any other questions I can answer for you! Later, Bryan
